If that's the case then why aren't Ghanaians and Nigerians dominating the 100m?
FYI, the European and Asian record holders in the 100m are Nigerian runners I.e. Francis Obikwelu and Femi Ogunode respectively.

Further, some of the fastest sprinters in the world are from Ivory Coast, Botswana and South Africa. (Murielle Ahouré, Marie-Josee Ta Lou, Ben Youssef Meïté, Wayde van Nierkerk, Nijel Amos, etc

There're nomadic "tribes" in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru.... all areas of very high altitude. Same thing in Mongolia, Nepal, etc

Why then are there no world class distance runners from Latin America or Asia?

Maybe there is something special about the East African diet compared to those other tribes. Notice the East African body type is pretty unique. I don't know any people elsewhere on earth with bodies as long and lean.

It's probably a combination of many factors that explains their dominance. I just don't see "race" being factor since only a few tribes dominate. If it was simply their "race" why aren't more tribes involved? Or is your argument that the Kalejin for example are their own unique race in Africa?

This is why the topic of race is dumb. It has no actual definition. You guys just throw it out there to fit anything you want.

So being proven superior athletes = not working hard to posters on here :laff::laff:





Let it be known that @Swagnificent is the only guy who brought up africans having smaller brains :jbhmm:

No. I'm simply telling you that is the argument that the people you are aligning yourself with when it comes to black/African athletic superiority also make.

Whether you like it or not, the same people who say black folks are genetically programmed to run fast are also gonna tell you they genetically programmed to be less intelligent. That is what racial eugenics has always been about.

simple question: Are there more people of "west African descent" in Jamaica or Brazil?

I know earlier you tried to skirt around the Nigeria example by claiming it was based on corruption or poverty. Well Brazil has something like 50x the number of people of "west African descent" than Jamaica. The country is also richer than Jamaica and has better athletic infrastructure. So why aren't we seeing Brazilians of west African ancestry just dominating the sprints like that small tiny island of Jamaica with 2.8 million people?

Look you've already proven you aren't very smart with how you keep trying to over-simply everything. How about you get a little more precise with your language so that you can't look so dumb anymore.




Your opinions have proven you are a walking down syndrome patient, there's a reason you have the hall of shame WOAT tag.


Honestly i lost as soon as you quoted me the first time, for that i need to apologize to all coli posters who had to read your responses.

White people can run, there is nothing inherent about black people that makes them faster. This takes away from the athletic work the black athlete does.
I remember in Greece a white guy came in pretty high, but it was the result of a mis-start.
The white dude from the US did well too, in Greece too, Jeremy Wariner

Jeremy Wariner truly fell from top 10 to not mentioned at all. He was that dude coming out of Baylor, and was just destroying people, and the first time Lashawn Merritt beat him, it was a wrap. It was like Wariner's confidence was shot.

Injuries and leaving Hart (the guy who coached Michael Johnson) is more to do with the fall of Wariner, then Merritt beating him for the first time.

You're now shifting goal posts bruh. First it was the mystical "Kalenjins", the high altitude, climate, etc Now it's the "diet"
:umad:
